AbstractOne hundred Nigerian patients presenting for emergency caesarian section were interviewed within the first 24 hours post-operatively. The purpose was to determine the incidence of awareness and dreams. The standard anaesthetic technique consisted of atropine 0.6 mg and thiopentone 250 mg given intravenously at the time of induction, suxamethonium bromide 40 mg intravenously to facilitate tracheal intubation and nitrous oxide/oxygen/pancuronium for maintenance. The incidence of awareness was 4% while the incidence of dreaming was 17%. Most (94%) of the patients said they dreamed only occasionally at home and of these, 15% claimed they dreamed more frequently when pregnant than when not pregnant.
